FOX THE MAYORS PRAYERFUL CONSIDER

II
There can be no better day than this for
citizens to consider what their duty is touching
the administration of justice in this great city.
The District Attorncyship is not simply one Of
the prizes Of politics. The proper conduct Of
the office may at any time concern the rights
of almost any citizen, high or low. The contest
here is one to be considered entirely apart from
politics. One Of the great parties has set the
example by nominating an opponent for the
place. 1t is wei understood that, if he is
elected, the Republicans are to reap no party
advantage The sole question is whether
there arc enough Democrats earnest for rood
government to elect him by following this
una4fish example.
We hope the Mayor will do "a little thinking
about this matter, too, to day. In fact. the
Mayor couldn't do better than 90 to church
ard do a little thinking about it there He
meht ask himself whether he, IA good citizen,
n man of correct and biamclcss life. has any
right to throw the influence Of his reputation
as well as his official position for the election
OF such a man as John Il. Fellows. He might
ask himself whether nc has any right TO
youch for the simple Christian life" Of Mr..
Fellows. If he did it without knowing what
Mr.. FelloWs's manner Of life was, he certainly
dld wrong in tcstifying to something he did
not know to be true If he did know, he has
notions as to what constitutes "SlmpIc
Christian lifc' very different from those which
his own life would lead us to suppose he enter
tanned.
Mr.. FcIiowss pcculiaIitics have been notori-
Gus in this community for years. No one,
probably, was much surprised to see the letters
published in which he begged i loan of money
from Tweed. not long after having ceased To

LILLE pIRTY or COYYR1RIES.

The only safe rule in committing an abSurdity
i to be bold about it. The Prohibitonst pol
iticians must have had this wise law IN mind
when they adopted this device:
To destroy the saloon power and save Sunday, vote
the Prohibition ticket.
To save Sunday, vote against the only party
which is pledged by its record to defend 1t.
TO save Sunday, vote with the party some OF
whose candidates have said publicly they viii
vote to open the saloons on Sunday 10 save
Sunday. vote as the liquor dealers, who propose
to break down Sunday, want you to vote. To
save Sunday, vote with the Personal Liberty
party. the one object Of whose existence is to
omen the saloons on Sunday; along with the
Democrats. who never lose a chance to do
good turn to the liquor traffic, and with the
Iiauor- dealers, who are almost always Demo-
Gratis. To save Sunday, smash it. To shut the
saloon. open il seven days instead of six To
escape the lion, put your head in his mouth.
To climb the mountain. turn aad run down.
TO be on the safe side. either in war or politics.
ALWAYS fcht for your enemies and against your
friends. This is logic with vengeance.
But the professional Prohibti0nlsts are not
to have the satisfaction this year OF giving
the Republican party n stab in the back as
reward for its hcrculcan efforts to restrict the
liquor traffic. Every experienced politician
whether Democrat or Republican, now looks
for the election Of the Republican State ticket
and a Republican Legislature by positive
majority. 1t il generally believed, also. that
while the Prohlbitonsts may show an increase
in some localities whore their agitation is new,
drawing tho floating clement on the surface Of
politics. the party is dsorganizcd in many Of
it's former stronghods, if it can be said to have
any. and will show diminished vote in those
places. This diSorganization is likely to con-
tinuc. The Sunday question reduces the Pro-
hibitIon position 10 m absurdity. which unjust be
apparent to the thinking men in that party.

Surrogatc's Office, and will make valuable
